Canon Intros Second HD Camcorder

For those of you who want to get all of those important family moments in high-def on your big screen, Canon's trying to help you out. The company said yesterday that it has launched its Canon HV20 HD Camcorder, which includes a 10x HD video zoom lens with Super Range Optical Image Stabilization and a Canon True HD 1920 x 1080 CMOS Image Sensor for 1080 image recording. According to Canon, the HV20 HD Camcorder "also features an HDMI terminal for quick and easy one-cable transport of the High Definition video signal to a HDTV."

The HV20 will hit retail shelves in April at a list price of $1,099. It joins several competing high-def camcorders from Sony, Sanyo and other manufacturers.

My question is how long it will take YouTube to support HD video. It's a great site but the video quality is nothing short of horrendous...
